Gisela Schneeberger

With her relatable characters and her keen sense for the charming nuances of dialect, Gisela Schneeberger has been captivating her audience for nearly five decades. Whether as the unforgettable "Gspusi" Elli in "Monaco Franze," as the congenial partner of Gerhard Polt, or in major film roles – she is an indispensable part of the German-speaking cultural landscape. Now, the multiple award-winning Grimme Prize winner is coming to Semmering for the first time.

As Fräulein Pollinger, she showcases not only her sharp humor but also her subtle, poetic strength. Navigating between bitterly funny comedy and touching humanity, she steps into the role of a young woman who, in Munich during the summer of 1928, relentlessly seeks her small happiness – and despite all setbacks, does not give up. Through the vibrant characters of this era, she brings to life a time of new beginnings, zest for life, and impending change in an atmospheric way.
